Allianz Sweeper Company Vice President, Walter Pusic, states in the press release, "This was not easy, and other manufacturers have had little positive outcome or success in capturing the correct technology blend to actually make it happen. Allianz Sweeper Company has been aggressive and diligent to incorporate current state-of-the-art electric hybrid technology to successfully accomplish our stringent goals to provide the industry with this incredible machine with no-compromise. It is time to make a difference, and the Allianz 4000 Electric Hybrid is the game changer."
